Preamble

Idea: 293-ulc-integration
Title: ULC integration
Status: In Progress
Created: 2018-08-06
Requires (*optional): #254

Product Overview

We need LES client enabled on mobile device to be really decentralized and to enable all web3 features for dApps.

Requirements & Dependencies

ULC integration depends on research swarm #254

Security and Privacy Implications

• Free slots for LES servers(can be resolved by les service model, onlyannounce servers, vipnode)
• Trusted nodes selection(trusted nodes list can be automatically expanded or changed)

Minimum Viable Product

• LES can work as the second Ethereum provider in status app.
• ULC can work as the third Ethereum provider in status app with static trusted nodes.

Iteration 0

Goal Date: 2018-09-10

Description:

• Add LES as an option for test networks
• ULC in go-ethereum master(#254)
• Add LES servers to our staging fleet

Iteration 1

Goal Date: 2018-09-14

Description:

• investigate les integration problems and add it to backlog

Iteration 2

Goal Date: 2018-09-25

Description:

• run in our cluster onlyAnnounce LES servers
• update go-ethereum with ULC in status-go
• graceful downgrade(use infura by default and if it fails, start ULC node)

Iteration 3—...

Goal Date: 2018-09-25

• TBD

Success Metrics

• Status app can use LES and ULC provider instead of Infura (10% of users are using it).

Exit criteria

• Running on Mainnet
